How to become a participant
In honor of Banned Books Week 2007, Bonnie started this reading project. The rules are simple: Members of the Banned Books project will read and post about banned books. That's it. No time limit, no required number to complete, just reading any book that has ever been challenged or banned. Registration is always open. Challenge yourself to read one banned book or several (you set the goal), and start reading. Give yourself credit every time you review a banned or challenged book on your blog. If you want to go the extra mile, jump on the "banned wagon" and become a contributor. That way, you can post your reviews on this blog as well as your own.
